Thanks!  I had seen the package mentioned, but FWIW I wasn't clear on 
what oxygen bits it ported, etc.  Your clarification that it's oxygen 
widgets helps quite a bit there.  (I run oxygen widget-styles but not 
window trim or plasma-themes, so being unclear about what it did, plus 
the below, I just figured it wasn't worth trying.)

Also, IIRC there were issues with it and for example qt-4.8, according to 
the gentoo/qt and/or gentoo/kde project meeting reports, which I follow 
when they're posted to the gentoo/desktop list.  IIRC they triggered 
segfaults in gtk-based apps for a bit, so I've been a bit cautious about 
trying it.  But I think that's fixed now and hopefully there won't be 
similar issues in the future, so I might try it.
